JD(S) MLA and former Karnataka Minister H.D. Revanna on Sunday (June 23) termed the allegations against his son and MLC Suraj Revanna of sexually abusing a male party worker as a "conspiracy" and said he has faith in God and the judiciary.
Not wanting to react to anything, he said when time comes he will tell everything.
Suraj Revanna — the brother of former MP Prajwal Revanna who is facing allegations of sexually abusing several women — was arrested in Hassan earlier in the day on charges of "unnatural offences" against him, police sources said.
He was booked on Saturday for allegedly sexually abusing a party worker a few days ago and under different sections of the IPC, including "unnatural offences."
"I won't react to anything. Let the (CID) do its (investigation). Who said don't (investigate)? I won't say anything on this. I have respect for the judiciary. I know what's happening in the state," Revanna said.
While speaking to reporters here, he said, "I won't react to anything. I have faith in God and the judiciary. I won't fear such conspiracies. I know what it is, time will decide." Asked as to who was conspiring, Revanna said, "I don't know, you (media) will have to tell — who, what. I will leave it to you...will face it, judiciary is there. Suraj has gone (to police), everyone knows what all has happened in the last couple of days." Regarding Suraj's complaint, he said, "I don't know what it is. Time will come, when time comes I will tell everything."
Suraj Revanna (37), the grandson of former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda has categorically refuted the charge. Suraj had also alleged that the man had filed a false complaint against him in a bid to extort ₹5 crore from him. On Friday, police registered a case of extortion against the JD(S) worker on a complaint by Suraj Revanna's close aide Shivakumar.
